40m.
Takes the steep slab right of the main corner of Dan Dare.
Start at a clean arete 3m left of the overgrown initial corner of Dan Dare. Climb the arete on it's left side to gain a short groove then up over an overlap and delicate slab to gain the big ledge on Dan Dare. Continue up the centre of the steep slab above with 4 ancient drill holes providing (convenient?) monos to reach easier angled climbing. Move up and follow an obvious flake crack to a good hold before traversing the slab right, passed a bolt, to a clean shallow groove that leads to the top.
